Cerebral Myoglobin:
This bioware, which is considered neural/cultured for purposes
of implantation and Bio Index, is actually a set of viruses
which modifies non-neural cells in the CNS to produce
myoglobin, which holds oxygen and supplies it when
necessary. Some modifications are also done on other neural
cells to prevent some degree of the damage normally happening
from lack of oxygen or other injury. The effects are as
follows:
1. Add the subject's Body to the number of points of
Overdamage they can suffer without dying. For this
Body, do _not_ include Suprathyroid Gland Body (a
faster metabolism hurts on this!), but _do_ include
Bone Lacing (unless the subject has a Cyberskull,
in which case instead include any Body dice from
Integrity Enhancement). However, for each point of
Overdamage above the character's normal death
threshold, add a +1 to the TN for rolls against
Permanent Injury from Deadly Damage (SR3 pg
127-128).
2. If rolling for Permanent Injury from Deadly Damage,
no successes are rolled, and the roll for which
Attribute is damaged indicates:
A. Int or Will;
B. Qui, _if_ it isn't boosted by any cyberwear
or non-neural Bioware; or
C. Reaction, _if_ it isn't boosted by any
cyberwear or non-neural Bioware,
reroll the roll versus Permanent Injury. If the
second reroll gives 0 successes, treat it as
normal.
3. Anytime one of the following gets Attribute Stress:
A. Int or Will;
B. Qui, _if_ it isn't boosted by any cyberwear
or non-neural bioware; or
C. Reaction, _if_ it isn't boosted by any
cyberwear or non-neural bioware,
reduce the Stress by 1. This can reduce the Stress
to 0.
Stress Effects:
Light Stress: Hyperventilation causes more mental
effects than normal, due to too much oxygen
Moderate Stress: No effect on Quickness or Reaction
Stress or Damage
Severe Stress: Halve (round up) the added points of
Overdamage before death
Deadly Stress: It doesn't function.
